Mage log is not working in Magento 1.9

Question

My mage log is not working.

I am using magento 1.9. I am also using wamp server so permission issues should not arise for the var folder.

I first went to System > Configuration > Developer and switch on logging

I then placed the following Mage log at this location:

app\Mage.php

 public static function run($code = '', $type = 'store', $options = array())
 {
    Mage::log('work');
    Mage::log('My log entry', null, 'mylogfile.log');
 }

I then refreshed my home page but nothing came up with the log files.

Is there something that I am missing?

I checked the permssions folder for my VAR and its :

drwxr-xr-x 1 theSeeker  197609   0 Sep 26 08:49 log/

All Mage:: functions work after it has verified it's all required functions are working fine.

It first sets the app root path using self::setRoot(); function.

Then checks for whether Magento is installed or not. Then sets the application config model.

Then it calls the following to initiate the rendering of the store view:

self::$_app->run(array(
     'scope_code' => $code,
     'scope_type' => $type,
     'options'    => $options,
));

After this complete process, the Mage::log() function starts working.

In your question, you have removed all default code from the function run($code = '', $type = 'store', $options = array()) function.

Try Mage::log() after just after:

self::$_app->run(array(
     'scope_code' => $code,
     'scope_type' => $type,
     'options'    => $options,
));
